Birstall MP attacked and killed

Exactly.

Thank you. At this point, let's just keep her family in our thoughts and not speculate on motivations or implications because we know almost nothing at this stage.

...so let's not go there....

Exactly.

[eek]

It's being reported that the alleged perpetrator shouted "Britain First" so I think it's unlikely he acted out of sympathy for Jeremy Corbyn

We've already had one thread deleted today about this due to idiotic racist postings...

While there are reports that things were said, there are also reports that nothing was said so let's not go there....

Yep. Some people took exception to her nominating Jeremy Corbyn but actually voting for Liz Kendall.

Jeremy Corbyn got nominated by lots of MPs who didn't vote for him. Some explained they did this so that all sides of the Labour party had someone standing.

Doesn't mean you go around threatening them.

Wasn't she the one that had some vile threats?

Sadly these days that generally equates to being in the public eye, and seems to be more common if you're a woman.

Most don't end up dead though.
